Jonathan’s family wants to extend a Big Thanks to Eddie Malek for coming up with this idea, getting things setup, and hosting this event. Big Thanks to Diane Schotzko for all her hard work gathering donations. Big Thanks to all the others (too many names to mention, you know who you are) for additional donations. Big thanks to all the volunteers that made this event a success, again, too many names to mention.
We hope to see everyone when we do this again next year!
